Apropos of Gen. Faidherbe, an amusing
anecdote is related Of an-adventure which
befell him when he commanded the Army
of the North in the wal of 1870. His
charger, q splendid gray Arab, had been
wounded at the battle of Pont Noyeles,
and the general was obliged to leave IL be-
hind him at @ farm. Some days after, as
Gen. Faidherbe was at lunch, a non
commissioned officer OF the PrUssian army
came I'D with a French dragon and a
horse which Gen. Won Cohen had sent him
with a polite message, believing it to be
his property. The horse was a miserable
animal, and Gen. Faidherbe, amazed at
the apparition, asked the dragon for
an explanation. The man related
that he had been taken prisoner with three
comrades by a patrol of German cavalry
two days before, and that he had hit on
the bright idea of representing himself as
the orderly and his horse as the favorite
charger of Gen. Faidherbe. The German
officers had communicated h. statement
to Gen. Won Cohen, who had coUrteously
returned the animal to the French general.
Gen. Faidherbe, however, asked the Ger
man soldier to take the dragon and the
horse hack with him, and fhe man had to
return crestfaueQ at the failure OF his
ruse. Gen. Won Cohen, as soon as he
learnt the truth, directed that diigent
search should be made for the Arab, u
it had been so carefully hidden away that
he never succeeded in restoring it TO his
adversary.-ChicGgo Times.

a Ring on a Swollen Finger.

CIVIL you please saw this ring off my
inger?'
It was an old woman who made this re-
quest of a Broadway jeweler, and as the
worker in gold and silver took the
wrinkled, though fat and shapely, hand
in his it trembled violently, and a tear
dropped upon the counter.
'Excuse me-" continued the old lady,
''but it is my wedding ring. l have never
had it off since l was married-fOrty-fVe
years ago. have refrained from having
it cut, hoping that my finger might get
thinner and that l could take it off with
out breaking it."
"And what if I can remove it without
cutting?'' inquired the jeweler.
'But can your said she, looking up in
a half credulous way. Eff you can, do it
by all means"
Then the jeweler took the swollen
finger and wound 1t round from the top
downwards in a length Of fat rubber
braid. The elastic cord eXerted its force
upon the tissues of the finger gently and
gradually until the flesh seemed TO be
pushed down almost to the bone. The
old woman's hand was then held above
her head for a brief interval. Then the
bandage was quickly uncorded and re-
wound about the member. This was re-
peated three times, and finally it was
found upon u~ncovering the finger that it
was small enough to admit Of the rings
being removed with ease.
II have never failed but once" said
the jeweler, land l have removed many
rings from fingers even more swollen than
yours. Do 1 charge for it? Oh, yes. 1
ask the same amount that I would get
if the ring were left to be mended after
being cut. One dollar. Thank your
and as he turned to his bench and the old
woman left the store he added: but after
all she might have done the same thing
herself. It's not the work, however, l
charge for; it's the know how New

The Average Country Journalist.

Every now and again I see in the city
papers sneers at the country papers and
Jokes at the expense Of rural editors. 1t
may be that my experience has been Pc
culiarly fortunate, but | AVE found that
the average country journalist with whom
have como into contact has more brains,
more STRAIGHT out, square toed ability,
more pride and interest in his profession,
and moro money, than his city brother.
1t is the graduates from the country
offices who~make the best men in metro
politan journalism.
read Of the country editor who takes
his pay in squashes and cord wood, but I
see the country editor who pays me in
checks on his local bank, checks which
are always Ccod. 1 read of the poverty
stricken rural newspaper man, but ID my
experience, and l have met q good many
of them, the rural journalist is apt to own
q share il the paper he edits, the louise he
lives in, O. horse and buggy, while the
METROPOLITAN writer who invents the
highly humorous paragraphs concerning
his country brother too often W for the
coat on his back. And finally, a good
country editor is q king pin in his locality.
He is looked up to and respected as a
leader Of public opinion, o man who
knows what is going on in the world. l
can't imagine q more enViable position
than that CT the owner and editor of g.
good ccoountry paper. Compared to the
grind Of q city daily, the work is light,
and the rewards are proportionately
greater.-The Journalist.

Advertising Oddities and Opinions.

Under the above heading Wood and
Iron, an interesting and valuable
publication on manufacturers and
mechanical science and art, published
at Minneapolis, has the following
pointed article OF newspaper adver-
Using, which is we'll worth reading by
persons engaged i'll business.
The advertising habits and peculiar
tiles of different persons and concerns
are quite a study i'll themselves. One
man will not advertise because he is
not doing business enough, while
another will not advertise because he
is doing too much business. Either
case implies that if the situation was
reversed he would advertise literally
A third person will not advertise at
| all, while a fourth adyertises all the
time; Il fifth advertises literally but
spasmodically.
The inquiry naturally arises, what
causes these differences of opinion in
a matter of common business. Is it
because of the nature Of the business
or because the advertiser has not fully
learned what nature of advertisement
and what medium is best for his pur-
pose? Unjust Undoubtedly be the
latter, for let any one bring up in his
mind the names o fpersens prominent
in any business and he will find that
they are the names which he has
| seen most in print. More especially
is this the case if the names are the
names of those with whom he is not
personally acquainted. Ifthe person
analyses this a little further he will
find that the ratio of prominence in
his own mind is in direct proportion
to the number of times he has seen
the name in connection with the
business. The men who have become
prominent in this manner recognize
the situation and many of them have
given expression to it in various ways.
Bonner was once asked why he
took a whole page of a newspaper to
advertise, over and over again, "Fan-
ny Fern writes only for the Ledger"
He replied, "Would you have asked
me that question if had inserted 1t
but once? l put it in to attract your
attention and make you ask that
question:" Again he says: my
success is owing to my liberality IN
advertising"
Opinions like the following ex-
pressed by persons whose names have
become household words carry a
weight with them that far out-bal-
ances the opinions of ordinary indi-
viduals:
He who invests one dollar in bust
ness should invest one dollar in ad-
vertising that busiress.-A. T. Stew
art.
Advertising has furnished me with
a competence.-Amos Lawrence.
I advertised my production and
made money.-Nicholas Longworth.
Constant and persistent advertising
is a IRE prelude to wealth.-Stephen
Girard.
Without the aid of advertisements
I could have done nothing in my
sp%eculations. 1 have the most COM
plete faith in printers INK" Ad-
yertlsing is the ''royal road to bust
ness."-P. II. Barnum..
